There was a good article in chalcedon fairly recently by Jim West on homeland defense. The part I liked was an insight that i had never seen before. West makes it clear that the civil magistrate is to be a terrorist. He is not to end terror, but is to use terror against the evil man. A God-honoring government will be a government of terrorists toward evil.
"For rulers hold no terror for those who do right, but for those who do wrong. Do you want to be free from fear of the one in authority? Then do what is right and he will commend you. For he is God's servant to do you good. But if you do wrong, be afraid, for he does not bear the sword for nothing. He is God's servant, an agent of wrath to bring punishment on the wrongdoer."
-Romans 13:3-4
